Dm And how long would you sleep Am If the sun decided not to shine? verse 2 Dm There's a man who lives up the block Am He doesn't even own a clock Dm Sometimes he stays awake for days Am C G D He's doin' it his own wayBridge Am D Am D Am D Am verse 3 Dm And who cares how people live Am If living's all they got? Dm And who knows how money grows?
